Stockholm-based illustrator Kilian Eng certainly loves the '80s. With a special interest in sci-fi and surrealism, he wears his influence on his neon colored, crystallized illustrations.

The world is truly a beautiful place. As graphic artists, we see the beauty everywhere we look. It inspires us. Encourages us. And helps shape the many artistic projects that endlessly flow from our own colorful minds.
Not only does the world inspire us; we inspire each other. Artists feed off of other artists’ design energy. It fuels our creativity and sparks our passion. The end result is a planet full of designs as varied in style and substance as the artists who created them. And that’s where we come in.
